i want to first state my problem:
I make youtube videos and I started to play on the PCSX2 emulator,
first their was no real performance problem when playing, recording the footage and recording the footage of my camcorder. But now somehow it lags like hell, while I didn't change any settings. I am only recording at 720p without anti-alaising or any additional stuff.

What would you suggest to make the lagging go away, and be able to record with better graphics (1080p, texture filtering, etc)?
I thought about first formatting my whole system (it needs it anyway) and to go back to win7 x64, i also wanted to buy two hdds for recording (if so, should i put them into raid or put them seperatly?) or maybe one is enough?
where should i install the emulator on and where should i put the iso (which i created from my legal copy of the game, because reading from the dvd-drive was even slower (sound))

Just to understand your problem, one day playing and recording works fine without lag, and the next day you do exactly the same but now it does lag?

If that's the case, then clearly something changed in between. If it's not the settings, then maybe it's the game, or your system, or a virus, etc.

I play Legacy of Kain - Blood Omen 2
my specs are in the first post
the settings are set according to the guide on this forum.
I use the avx gs plugin
Direct X11 (hardware) with custom resolution of 1280x720

Its not one day on another it was like 2 weeks in between, no settings have changed, no viruses, or "system changes", only free space on both disks has changed (less) because that is not the only thing I am recording.

On that case, I'd guess what you need is a new HDD (or free up enough space and defrag, or SSD etc) rather than the settings changes you asked help with in your OP.

Completely irrelevant. These are CPU instruction sets, and you always pick the highest one supported by your CPU in case of SSE. It has nothing to do with which one works best in what type of rendering.

This is wrong. The only difference between the two would be in software mode. Software mode will be slightly better on AVX, in hardware mode there will be no difference between the two.

Being a streamer myself, I can tell you your problem is you're asking too much of your CPU. Your best bet would be lessen the stress via your streaming software. Set the encoder settings to the fastest available. This will lower the quality of the stream a bit, but it should restore the smoothness of the stream.

Mh... It's just funny that the emulator needs so mush performance, while for instance Saints Row 4 with all the "ultra" settings + recording with fraps uncompressed + record with facecam does not need so much power as the emulator (my cpu is maybe at 70% while playing saints row and recording)
